Your first bitcoin purchase

1. Get Yourself a Wallet

You need to get yourself a coin wallet or a trading account, because what you will do is go to a service that allows you to put in fiat cash and you get out bitcoins, you need to put those bitcoins somewhere.

Here are some wallet options (let us know if you have some others you like, have had suggested or have heard about) :

I registered an account here: https://www.coinmama.com/ you have to put in nyour details and send them a selfie of you and your passport to prove you are who you say you are and then they ask you to send a selfie of you and your mastercard.

Scroll down and choose the amount you want to buy (easier to work it out in euros or dollars, rather than Bitcoins)

Then click “Buy Bitcoins”

It will take you to the next page that will ask you your method of payment.

I think it will be “Credit/Debit card via simplex”.

It will then ask you for a bitcoin wallet address, you will find this in your chosen bitcoin wallet or in your Poloneix trading account you’ll find it under balances > Deposits and withdrawals you then go down the list, find bitcoin, click “Deposit” and it will show you your bitcoin deposit address (here in yellow) eg:

Note !!!!!! This address is ONLY for depositing BITCOINS!

You then click complete payment and follow the instructions through to the end.

You will get an email from them, asking you to confirm the Wallet address, go to your email and click confirm.

Payment should be 5 minutes and you’ll have bitcoins. (or they may send you an email asking you for more information about you, which is normal the first time.)
